The year ahead: showbizhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/31/the-year-ahead-showbiz
Will Brad and Jen get back together? Where will Sting's private jet take him in his quest to save the planet?<p>The difficulty in predicting what will happen in the glamorous world of showbiz in the coming year is that the glamorous world of showbiz tends to exceed even the most outlandish of predictions. Why, in just the last two months, Lindsay Lohan has become a fashion designer, fought with her ex-girlfriend, made up with her ex-girlfriend, had a one night stand with an actor who emerged sheepishly from his house carrying a Muppet (no word as yet if the Muppet was involved), went to India to save the poor people and launched a website selling her own clothes. Remember the days when she had barely shot Freaky Friday in that time?</p><p>But it's not impossible to foresee what is to come. First, by this time next year, there will be an extraordinarily, globally famous celebrity whose name no one knows as yet because they're currently sitting on their sofa, plotting how to snare the much-vaunted attention of a reality TV producer. And so, donning my finest astrologically patterned turban, I foresee someone streaking through the House of Commons during the first PMQs of whoever the next PM may be, in the hope of getting on the next series of Wife Swap. Cue much angst among broadsheet newspaper columnists about the state of the nation; cue much cheering from the tabloids, one of which will recruit aforementioned streaker to be a columnist on their pages, issuing his verdict on the new PM's work so far.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/31/the-year-ahead-showbiz">Continue reading...</a>CelebrityWorld newsLife and styleSimon CowellMediaMadonnaMusicStingJude LawCultureBrad PittFilmAngelina JolieThu, 31 Dec 2009 00:05:31 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/31/the-year-ahead-showbizPhotograph: Ken McKaySimon Cowell, tipped to run for US president in 2010.
